Honouring CBH Volunteers Rob Morrow, Lutz Sukstorf and Jeremy Mansfield – 88 Years of Combined Service to Canada
This Remembrance Day, we want to take a moment to recognize and honour Rob Morrow, Lutz Sukstorf and Jeremy Mansfield with a combined 88 years of service in the Canadian military.
Morrow, Sukstorf and Mansfield met at Royal Military College (RMC) in 1977, and each served between 21 and 35 years in the military. Now, nearly 50 years later, they are still serving Canadians together as they volunteered for last weekend’s Canadian Blind Hockey Ontario Cup.
Thank you for your service to Canada, and to helping to make hockey accessible to all Canadians who are blind or partially sighted.
A career in the military represents a lifetime of dedication, sacrifice, camaraderie and commitment to something bigger than oneself. Behind that uniform are years of hard work, countless experiences, challenges overcome and a deep sense of duty to Canada.
Today, we recognize the people who have answered the call, put service before self and helped protect our country and its people.
Rob, Lutz and Jeremy thank you for your years of service, your dedication and your contribution to Canada. Your service deserves to be remembered, respected and celebrated.
Lest we forget. 🇨🇦
Honouring Nick Serbu:

Honouring Nick Serbu – 35 Years of Service to Canada
This Remembrance Day, we want to take a moment to recognize and honour Nick Serbu, Chief Petty Officer, 1st Class (Retired), and his remarkable 35 years of service in the Royal Canadian Navy.
For much of his career, Nick served as a Clearance Diver, one of the Navy’s most specialized, demanding and challenging roles. It is a profession that requires extraordinary courage, discipline, skill and commitment, often in circumstances most of us can hardly imagine.
Thirty-five years of service represents a lifetime of dedication, sacrifice, camaraderie and commitment to something bigger than oneself. Behind that uniform are years of hard work, countless experiences, challenges overcome and a deep sense of duty to Canada.
Today, we recognize the people who have answered the call, put service before self and helped protect our country and its people.
Nick, thank you for your 35 years of service, your dedication and your contribution to Canada. Your service deserves to be remembered, respected and celebrated.
Lest we forget.
